    Summary

    Henry’s at a local Hispanic Heritage Month event browsing the art stalls when his gaze catches on a kid looking around with both purpose and nervousness. She’s fidgeting with the hem of her t-shirt with one hand while she bites the nails of the other one, eyes alert and searching. Lost, then.
    And oh, Henry recognises her. She’s a regular at his bookstore, even at only six years old, and is there at least weekly with her dad—Alex, who she’d introduced to Henry as her papi—or various aunties and uncles, most of whom Henry doesn’t think are actually related to her. Keeping one eye on her, he lets his gaze sweep the vicinity but doesn’t see anyone else he even remotely recognises. Shit. He has to do something.
    “Sirena?” he calls gently.


    Henry... is more than a bit useless around hot guys. So when he finds the lost kid of the gorgeous dad who frequents his bookstore, he pulls himself together until they reunite, only to then be devastated by the revelation that the man thinks Henry hates him. And, well... courage always rises, and all that.

    Summary

    Henry is forty-two and stuck in the same job he took at twenty-four. After a particularly ugly divorce, he’s also tremendously, depressingly single.

    Alex is forty-one, works 80 hours a week as partner in a law firm and hardly speaks to his son. He’s also happily, promiscuously single.

    They meet at a speed-dating event. Life happens.

    Summary

    There is a little magic in Henry life, he just doesn't know it.

    The maid has heard all of the rumors, the palace is haunted. Some of the staff have seen apparitions, things go missing, there are sounds that can’t be explained. The chief of staff doesn’t believe in such things, the queen is older and forgetful, she takes things. They are her things, she’s the queen after all, it’s not like it’s stealing. It’s easier to keep replicas on hand, it’s not worth anyone being accused of a crime for something the queen doesn’t remember. But the maid has heard a giggle and felt something unseen brush past her leg in the hallways.

    Summary

    Alex confesses his love to Henry on a Tuesday.

    “If you die, I don’t think I’m ever going to recover.”
    “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
    Alex’s jaw visibly clenches, and he thrusts the mug back into Henry’s chest. When he tilts his head up, Henry is shocked to see that his eyes are wet. “Henry, please. I won’t be able to live with myself.”
    Henry places the mug down onto the counter and cautiously brings a hand up to Alex’s shoulder. He tries to ignore the way Alex shivers, or the way his eyes flutter shut for a moment.
    “Alright, alright. I understand. However,” he squeezes his hand, “I’m not sure I have it in me to stop loving him.”
    Alex nods, quiet, then brings a hand – slowly, so slowly – up to cup Henry’s jaw. “Same.” He searches Henry’s eyes. After a moment, Henry tips his head in a nod. He closes his eyes. He feels Alex’s hot breath against his lips. “Who?”
    “Sebastian,” Henry whispers.

    OR, Henry is in love with someone, and it’s killing him. Alex is in love with Henry, and just wants to save him.
    Some people fall in love in a day, and some take a little longer.
    it's a hanahaki au!! yay!!!
